Arriving in Florida I was reminded that it is just about the dead middle of summer. We were out of things to do for the day so decided to make a Summer Solstice Cake. It took three boxes of cake mix, three containers of icing, a variety of candy and an hour of carefully mixing food colors to get an acceptable variety of colors for the icing artist palettes. Five hours later we were left with a cake the size of an entire refrigerator shelf and wondering whose kids we were going to call to eat the damn thing.
